Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City- time

EDIT 3: Apparently there are three public library branches downtown. We are meeting at the Central Branch, Address: 250 Georgia St. West, North Plaza near the flagpole (right outside the library).
Time: 10:00 AM

EDIT 2: We are meeting on Sunday at 10 AM sharp at the Vancouver Public Library Downtown (on West Georgia). The meeting point is just outside the library near the flagpole.

EDIT: How is 9:30AM for everyone? I realise it’s an early Sunday, but we really should go earlier since we don’t have a group booking. And morning seems to work better for everyone anyways. Post feedback!

Let me know if this works for everyone (or at least the majority):

Sunday, October 5th at 1pm.
Will any other time work better?
